...memories are like tombstones spread across an abandoned graveyard. Some are broken beyond repair; some remain, incredibly, in pristine condition; but all are relics, a symbol of that which was. I visit the graveyard from time to time and every once in a while a stone will catch my minds-eye and the past appears before me like a ghost that rises from a long forgotten grave. There is one ghost that stays forever by my side. It haunts me like a shadow that is glued to my skin. It will never leave me until I become a ghost, forever silenced in that forgotten field of hallowed dirt...
***Anyone who grew up during the time when the tumultuous 1960's gave way to the cynical 70's will relate to this strange and wonderful saga. The two central characters are polar opposites in almost every conceivable way but are nonetheless bound together by forces both marvelous and terrible. This is a story of coming of age, of life and death, written on the landscape of an America where everything was brighter, louder, uglier and more beautiful than ever before or since. In Bill Bice's first Novel, he caught lightning in a bottle. Read it and weep, and laugh, and remember- Bob Meadows. - Huntsville, Alabama.
